The Art of No

  The Ayes Have It (But She Don't) Everybody knows the bill is dead Everybody knows the Senate’s red Everybody knows the deal is done The major parties had their fun The crossbench bargains were all just show The whips have cracked, the whistle’s blowed That’s how it goes And Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the bells are ringing Everybody knows the mud they’re slinging Everybody knows the clerk can’t count With all the grievances they mount Everybody knows that the motion’s lost Everybody knows what the lobby cost The Ayes go high, the chamber’s low And Hanson always votes no.

A Facilitator of Enlightenment

 


In our journey through life, we may find ourselves entangled in a metaphorical cave, our understanding of reality confined to the shadows projected on the walls. Merchants who prosper on our want of prosperity and opportunistic wealth cast these phantoms of reality, manipulating our senses for their gain. Yet, in a moment of profound revelation, you break free, grasping the truth that the world beyond the cave is the actual reality. That is the enlightenment that unveils the fleeting nature of worldly games.

Upon your return to the cave, the opportunity of your leadership is not simply to announce the existence of the alternative world but to dismantle the illusions holding your peers and community in ignorance. Your task is to illuminate the mechanisms of their conditioning, patiently working to dispel their fabricated values and entrenched misconceptions.

In your transformative context, leadership is a conduit for awakening, a medium for cultivating mindfulness and resilience. It is not enough to merely recommend a course of action or identify the shackles and obstructions. Leaders must unravel the underpinnings of these constraints, sparking a collective resolve towards transformative action. The possibilities to illuminate the pathway towards a new reality and foster the desire for self-transformation.

Leaders must embody the role of teachers, guiding others towards enlightenment and transforming the world, even if only one person at a time.
